Help ! I have had a "swallowing problem
" for 2 yrs now- it was really bad last
summer and I almost passed away from
dehydration and not being able to eat- it
got so bad my eyeballs stuck to my eyes
and I couldn't open them- even a nurse I
know couldn't start an iv in my hand due
to my lack of hydration - due to not being
able to swallow even the tiniest bit of
water or food for months- my throat has
two froms of swallowing problems - one
that feels more food allergy-related and
one more musclar- nerve type- when I eat
or drink mucous in my lower throat
accumulates and when I try to clear it-
the tissues-muscles in my throat swell up
( my tonsills on the left are swollen all
the time, and I can feel lumps when I
touch the outside of my throat- it gets
hard to breathe and whe I go to swallow- I
can't- and it scares the piss out of me-
the other kind is when I drink (water) and
I go to swallow- but my brain doesn't get
the signal to my throat and nothing
happens- and I have no air going in or
out- I have been to the doc's and had a
barium swallow- and was treated like crap
by the doctor- (he thought I was "too
young" to have problems like this" I have
a family history of 4 members with
swallowing problems and I don't want to
pass away from choking on my phlem or
food- I am experiencing this problem right
now and I can feel my throat swelling righ
t now- it feels like I ate something
allergic and my throat is swelling from
the inside out- i'm scared to death and I
don't know what else to due- I know I will
end up in a coffin if I don't get some
answers- could any doc out there help?
